• The 

<Rec 16 chs>

 soft key:

Pressing this soft key presents a screen used for setting up multi-
channel recording. This is described in the section “The Record 16
Channels Function: Multichannel Recording”, later in this chapter.

There are a number of parameters in the MPC3000 that are not
saved in SEQ, ALL, SND, PGM, or APS disk files. These settings,
called system parameters, are retained in a special memory that
doesn’t lose its contents when the power is turned off. These settings
include:

• Names for all 64 MIDI channels
• Master tempo
• BPM/FPB select and frames per second select
• MIDI Input Filter settings
• Default settings for initializing sequences

 . . .and many more (see the Appendix for a complete list).

To initialize these system parameters to their factory preset state,
press the OTHER key, then select the 

<Init PAR>

 soft key. The

following screen will appear:
